Saw my GP (Demon man) today. Asked how I was; “never felt better since halfway thru third quarter” Knew what I meant.

Merry Christmas Demonland and in particular our rising star Luke Jackson. I hope everyone pays attention to the Christmas carols tonight. All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth. Best of luck Dogga.

I’m in charge of bringing the cheese platter for Christmas lunch today. My Richmond mad in laws are gonna love the Melbourne premiership cheese board I’m gonna bring to the occasion.

Here I am this morning at the McDonalds in Leopold waiting for a coffee on the road to the family. Just keeping a lid on it this Christmas. My partner said I look like a sad, sick kid trying to raise money for a children’s charity. It is a sickness of sorts. We won the flag! GO DEES!

Our household has spent the morning in quiet reflection, thankful for the appearance of the saviour, who gave so that we may live, and thereby has saved us all. From 57 years of misery. Unfortunately schisms have appeared over whether the saviour is Max, Tracc, or Goodwin. However I expect by Easter (the annual rebirth of the home and away season) that we will unite to declare holy war on the heretics (Collingwood, Essendon, etc).

What a year! Merry Christmas everyone. A flag and my first kiddo came along. Couldn't ask for more!* * Santa; One more flag next year, pretty please?

All Demonlanders already got the best gift this year. Literally nothing under the tree tomorrow will be as good as winning a flag. It’s all downhill from here guys. Merry Christmas.

Got a Premiers beanie in work Secret Santa today. Christmas already certified as excellent.

A full three months have passed since that fateful evening on the other side of the continent when the Demons broke the long premiership drought in emphatic fashion. That night was the culmination of a period of many years of wondering about what things would be like if our team won the flag. What changes would it make to your life? I’d like to think it’s made me more humble but perhaps I’m wrong - when I’m in conversation with opposition fans these days, I must make unbearable company. How has winning the Premiership changed your life?

Merry Christmas to you and your family's. What a year on Demonland and as many have stated already our Christmas celebration has really come early and the celebrations long already. Would love this to become an annual tradition. I think that premiership cup had better watch out if there's any mistletoe around, I'd be all over it.

You got lucky, I reckon you missed it by that much

Have a great and safe Christmas everyone. Thanks especially to Andy and the crew for this great site. I know we can all get a bit willing at times but the common love for the Demons is the thing that binds us together. The curse, and the long-suffering are finally no more. Enjoy!

Carols by Candlelight, Nutcracker, or Demons v Bulldogs GF 2021? Decisions ....

The young master interviewer with the future young master key position player ~

I am generally much happier about everyday life. The #1 item on my bucket list has finally been ticked off. The weight of countless years of disappointment accumulating were banished, and it has been filled with huge amounts of pride and adoration for my Dees. My Christmas present was delivered on September 25th. The happiest and proudest day of my life.

This kid is quality

Santa came early for us. It’s been great and awful virtually hanging with you people for the past decade and a half. rp

You guys don't have any actual flesh and blood friends do you? Posting on a fan forum instead of hanging out with real people on Christmas day? pffft, I'm far too busy and popular to waste my time doing something like that...... Merry Christmas everyone. Hope you enjoy the day with your loved ones, and survive the day if you are with the in-laws.

Merry xmas all. Eat drink and be merry. And don't forget to watch the 200th re run of the 21 grand final.

We to WCW this is the best Xmas ever the whole family is happy and contented, it has been a sensational 3 months. Merry Xmas all Demonlanders, what a year 2021 has been for all of us.💕💕❤️💙

… and all our “fringe players” an uninterrupted 2022 VFL season, an opportunity to both hone their skills and press their claims.

Well, I received the book - Gawny's book - for an Xmas present. Glancing at it, I read the first two chapters. This guy has his head screwed on and astutely laid out the pathway to Team success. Loving the book, it will be finished in an hour - but doesn't it make you appreciate Max just that little bit more? He has got to be the most appreciated footballer going around the whole AFL.

Nearly correct ... this time next week we will have three consecutive thrashings of the Poms - and this time at the 'G - to delight us even further than this commercial Xmas aborration and the sheer gleeful wonder of taking out the flag in the GF (and there is the very good chance the we will anihilate The Filth across the year.

Let's hope it becomes Van watching his progress then. **I'll see myself out......

Hello. What is this Demonland or Readers Digest?

These are the spoils of victory. They're not the only good things about being winners again, of course, but they're definitely on the list.

Watch the GF played over Kings College carols………appropriately divine.

The stigma has been removed. No longer have to deal with pity and /or disdain when declaring I’m a Dees supporter. I will say its hard to stay humble when your team is so good though. Spent yesterday evening with my St Kilda supporting in-laws. The dynamic has changed. No longer equally hopeless. I couldn’t help being mean-spirited and petty. I know this makes me sound obnoxious but if St Kilda had won the flag I would have been on the receiving end without doubt. My topics of conversation were: How good were the Dees this year Will the Dees 3-peat Can the Dees go unbeaten in 2022 Langdon v Brad Hill. Who got the better deal St Kilda’s recent dumpster fire recruitment policy Will St Kilda ever win another premiership McCartin over Petracca, what might have been Can’t wait for season 2022 to get underway Go Dees

Happy xmas demonlanders. Hope you all have a relaxing and peaceful holiday period

Just some long-lasting satisfaction and a hint of quiet smugness. 😇

Fox Footy giving us all a gift. Currently putting one through Richmond.

I used to be a grumpy person but winning the premiership has turned me into a model citizen. I don’t litter the streets and I help little old ladies cross the road. I’ve become a cross between Mahatma Ghandi and Jesus.

Happy three-month anniversary everybody

I don't think Kate Roffey, Simon Goodwin, Max Gawn, Petracca or Oliver believe that

I got one for the missus for Christmas. I hope she doesn’t post on here, or that’s the secret blown. I really don’t need anything for Christmas now, for years I’ve been saying all I needed was a flag and it turns out I was right. Merry Xmas ti you all, and a safe relaxing holiday break. I love youse all. I opened the Glenmorangie early.

Finally got around to getting these framed.

Also my American Friend, who has followed the Demon's journey over the last few years and has watched a lot of our matches including Rd 23 through to the Grand Final live (at an ungodly hour), received the Premiers Beanie & Scarf that I sent. Took 22 days from shipping (was meant to be 5-8 days) after spending a week waiting to leave Oz and then 9 days in LA waiting to ship across the US. He got his before my sister who ordered hers on Grand Final night.

50 hours later and I'm negative.

I always have an MCC/MFC membership but this year I also have an MFC membership which also arrived today.

I was there earlier in the week and they were swamped by boxes of fresh stock, and were sending everything out Express Post, which is why so many of us have received Christmas Eve packages. Kinda made it worth the wait. Can confirm that the guernsey is sensational as is the New Balance t-shirt - finally some quality premiership apparel that will last longer than 1 wash.

I have a few South Africans working for me and the correct way of pronouncing his name in SA is "Fun Royen" Strange but it seems as if the Van becomes Fun.

Kayo /end thread

jeelong might be the first afl club where players retire and go straight to an aged care home

Name anything better than beating them at the Cattery after the siren 😀

And maybe if they work real hard and establish themselves in the team they can be like Ben Brown … oh, wait.

Not sure if new players feel pressure from numbers of past champions, but I would prefer Taj gets a higher number, which eliminates that extra pressure.

That was an ugly turn, I agree, but having seen it I thought keep it! Build some suspense. Latest news is that all those at my table were negative so the premiership celebrations continue!

Kayo, sport only.
